Adventure Comics #433 - Alex Nino art

Adventure Comics v1 #433, 1974 - Escaping hisSpanish captors, Captain Fear joins other former slaves in attacking on their largest plantation. The artwork is sharply rendered in Alex Nino's visceral style. His page layouts are typically smart, enhanced by a splendid decorative masthead on the first page. Equally impressive is the sword-fighting scene on page 5, where Nino inventively uses multiple figures sequenced within a single panel. Other artists in this issue include Jim Aparo. This is number 6 of 6 Adventure Comics issues with Nino art and/or covers. - - - - - - - - - -"Revolt and Revenge"Nino story pencils and inks7 pages = ***
